Topic: Casino/gambling center near an institution of learning? - page 6. (Read 912 times)
This actually reminds me of my days in secondary school, I would skip class with a friend of mine to go gamble in a bet shop that is in our school area,but it doesn't necessarily mean that all the students or a major traffic if customers were students, but I could also negatively affect the students in that area and make them to be exposed to the world of underaged gambling and if not careful they could become addicts easily.

Yeah yeah, of course it will. It's not as if it is what will cause them to gamble but the fact remains people's minds usually recide based on what they see frequently and therefore if kids should continue to see gambling shops so often that they begin to gradually get familiar with them ,they will definitely have the urge to try it out . In fact let's not forget the fact that children most of the time are very inquisitive and therefore love to try out new things.
The truth is weather or not there is a gambling shop they come across frequently, they will still get to know about gambling via. The internet, meaning aside from them knowing it exists, they should also be told about it to reduce their urge towards it most times kids tend to take a wrong turn towards things they are least aware of.

It is very true what you say, that children are very curious and the truth is that for everything they always want to do the things that adults do, so in view of these things we have to See that when there are places for children, parents have to do a better job of supervision and guidance, children are people who will always look for a way to do things just like adults, but this is Something we cannot control, personally, children should be talked to about casinos and especially about what has to do with games, but this is delicate, you have to know how to Explain it.
If you read my other comments on one of the threads that was posted on this board which states that parent should not or never gamble in front of their kids, I did emphasized on the fact that sometimes, it's simply better to not talk about gambling to kids, especially the ones that have never gambled before, because there is a way we can talk to them about it, what we say becomes more like a trigger that drives that child to want to gamble, we all know that children likes to explore, if we fail to use the right words while talking to them about gambling, we just might end up making them choose gambling as their next adventure.

I believe only students that gamble will patronise such casino, there is no such thing like distraction because the casino ain't built/Mounted in the campus but rather outside. Undisciplined ones will surely gamble too wether or not it is close or far, we just take this on a neutral ground as it a matter of choice and I believe the effect is subjective to each individual student personality.
If we are saying near institution as the bais, what about others built in residential areas..?, it same thing, who wants to get distracted will get distracted, while those that know what they went to school for will surely achieve the aim.

Do you think having a casino or any gambling center close to an institution of learning, will influence the students somehow or should I say be a positive or negative reinforcement on them, in anyway?

It would surely have an affect on some of the student's, honestly there shouldn't be anything that could distract a student near or close to an institution of learning.Thoughts?

Actually in our current age, I see most youth/students betting online while though having these center's will even influences more others to gamble since they can physically meet like minded peers. Thoughts?
Though this will be a mixed perception since some will be influence more to gambling or even becoming addicted and others will come to learn about the risks and ways to healthy gambling though the majority will still be tending to the negative aspects since student are usually not workers depending on their guidance for taking care of their needs and then may see gambling of making money for themselves by which they'll begin to gamble with their funds for upkeep or may even be tempted to use their school fee, house rent or other funds required for schooling.

I think that the main reason why physical gambling establishments are not supposed to be near schools is because majority of the students are not financially independent, they depend on parents and loved ones to cater for their financial needs. In that regard anything that can distract their attentions to spending money that is given to them outside of their studies should be discouraged.

No one should tell us that casino/sportsbook establishment is no plus for students before we know that, after all, this is not a productive call for them in any way. Will casinos/sportsbooks teach them moral standards and how to do well in life? Certainly not, so their presence should not be thought towards that direction for any reason. However, the presence may or may not be negative to the children as well, this is because many students will not even give it a thought and will be afraid to engage in a thing like that since it is around the institution, and when they get home, they might never have the chance to go out to try such a thing due to the strictness of their parents.Thoughts?
But to others, yes, it can affect them in the sense that they might look for a way to start trying what they are seeing around them, especially when they have reached certain older ages and believe money can be made through it. And even if these students did not gamble in the one(s) close to their school, they might find an alternative elsewhere where no one would see them.
This is particularly true if the children are such that are free to move around after school.

What do you think? I think everyone will give the same answer. Of course negative. Instead of students focusing on learning, they intend to learn, but because the temptation is close to them, they will be forced to play gambling or someone could influence them, which later on will have negative effects and they can never focus on studying again. And why do you think there are no schools in the world that have a nearby casino or any establishment with gambling-related activities? Because it will only hinder the focus of the student and it is not healthy for the students to be near a casino, it will only corrupt their minds and they will have a miserable life. So we already know the answer to this question; no more discussion is needed. If someone says that it will have a positive effect somehow, then the question is, does that positive effect cover all the negative effects of casinos near the student premises?Thoughts?
Are you sure that students have a temptation to gamble? All they want are good marks and slack from studies. It sounds that whenever you build near institute of learning, students have temptation to go there
What, if you build a steak house near place where hungry and poor hangout, they would have temptation to go there ? Of course not. As if students dont know places where they can gamble? I have a solution to this problem btw. Build an institution of learning next to institution of learning, a bunch of small classes around. So whenever students go or see, everything will remind him about studies. Because students must not have free time and free money. All they must do is to focus on learning, eat, sleep, repeat.

back then in school, we had a soccer viewing centre in my school and had lots of betting shops that surrounds the premises. Almost 70% of the boys in my institution are active gamblers and it's just normal for people to see the large market and open up betting shops around the premises. The law doesn't look at gambling as a threat to the youths that would have warranted them to regulate the areas they should operate. Within the school, I doubt any institution would allow that to happen but outside the school, it's one of the most active shops you can find in any street. Thoughts?
It's always like a mixture of phone charging hub where youths and student gather to power there devices due to steady power supply in the shop and some might place some bet in the process, others might play virtual or just engage in normal football discussion.
It all depends on the maturity of the students on how they can handle their gambling emotions.
Gambling not just for fun neither just to make profits but also believing that with logical and critical mindsets to solve issues in a mathematical theory, it could inspire such concentrated individuals to be more intellectual effective with an encouragement ability to keep trying until they get it right.
Like I said, this basic is not only pointed at making profits otherwise the persistence to "I must win" could ruin the scholars learning obligations.

Any casino close to an institution of learning will Definitely affect the students. As we all know that gambling has a high tendency or influence to drag people closer no mater the distance. People would love to come and play as a form of trying their luck since institutions is a place of leaning and also fun. But the truth remain that most people would be lucky enough to win and clear of their school depts and help themselves financially, but others would also lose their money to the casino so it's vise versa. As the case may be I believe it will do them good in terms of winning and also bad in times of lose and more people would lose than win, that is where the problem comes. Casino built close to school will somehow drain the student and also causes lack of focus in their academics so the negative is more than the positive.I think offline casino would not drag many students, and the amount of students that visit such casino would not be significant. People see casinos ads all the time, people are used to it. That works a minor reminder, not a call to gamble. But, if for some reason, on students or schools webpage there would be a casino banner, it definitely going to have an effect. Students check their grades, homework and etc on institutions intranet. Their whole life is in gadgets. You really think they would pay much attention to large letters CASINO on a building?

Can I say that casinos near schools or universities are on the same have neutral and negative impact? I am not sure that every student that passes by this facility, thinks about visiting it or gambling at all. I cant say that every student has spear money to spend on gambling, or every students see casinos as a way to earn. On the other hand, they are all into gadgets. So even if they see a casino near, they would gamble online instead. From my university and school times, I remember that I used to spend my money on snacks, games and clubs instead.

The probability of influencing younger generation is always possible on this scenario, so we shouldn't ignore this chance that it could happen. Only thing we have here that the state must have proper regulations with this certain aspects, if ever gambling casino near an institution of learning must comply with strict and tight rules before they could operate business. However, increasing morality of learners also helps them avoid being influenced by rampant gambling habits that they've seen within the society.

I'd say a no for me. More specifically near kindergartens, elementary, and high school institutions. Universities can do whatever the hell they want imo, but for the former 3, big no. I'd much rather kids learn about gambling in the safety net of their parents than in a place outside. Thoughts?
And in general, I'd really say to avoid placing entertainment institutions that can be taken as bad habits near academies anyway. Might be biased since I grew up in a household that heavily emphasized education so putting a casino near an academy just doesn't feel right. Granted I am guilty of gambling at school
but most of it was just for fun with light money involved.

Students who will gamble will gamble, students are very tech savvy and they know more about technology and innovations. More students know about online gambling than the elderly ones who are still very used to the physical method of visiting a casino and will not find it very easy to adapt to gambling with technology. If you do not want students to gamble as the owner of an institution, rather than having problems with any gambling center close to the school, it is better to educate your students more on the dangers of addictions to gambling and how it can affect their future. if your students know about this addictions and the if your students know about this danger, they will be careful with gambling. Thoughts?
I don't know how it works in different jurisdictions, but in Spain it is forbidden to open casinos at certain distance from schools, with ranges between 100m and 500m if I'm not wrong, depending on the region. Afaik it doesn't affect universities (the aim is to protect younger people, not adults).
It's obvious that gamble center shouldn't be built in a school environment so that students won't snick out of school and go fort to to gamble. There was a college in my areas that arrested a lot of female students because they when clubbing at night after school and this students were expelled. So as a male students they will gamble if they finds any casino shop closer to the school environment, so game centers should be far from school environment for safety of the students because some students will likely use their school fees to gamble some day.

Some professional bodies have argued that it has a bad influence on the life of a student if it's active near a campus or even inside a school area. While inside an institution, it's easy to see different kinds of active businesses that will make the student's life easy, but it's hard to see a betting shop inside one, unless for those that open one just a few blocks from the school building.Thoughts?
But whether we have one betting shop or a physical casino in the school environment, it won't have much influence on the student because, with or without it, the student is already deeply into betting. I mean, most of them, especially now that online casinos have dominated everywhere, don't even need to move out of the class room or their hostel in order to place a bet; they can do it right where ever they are.
